Is it worth turning my knuckles before re-assembling my bronco? I'm having my D44 rebuilt and figured if I'ma do it, nows the time. How do I know how many degrees to turm 'em? Should i just have new wedges welded on at a slightly different degree instead of the knuckles? Just want it to drive and track straight with as little drama as possible for a 40+ year old car. In case anyone needs more info...

Here's what I have/plan on running:
3.5 cage/sexton lift
Bilsteins (7100's 360/80)
No body lift
Power steering
Front sway bar
Stone crusher steering (still debating on this)

not a bad idea if you are running stock 44 low pinion. you could turn them 6- 8 to get the pinion up were it needs to be and get 4-6 degrees of caster for good drivabilty

Thanks Dave! That was the answer I was looking for. I get home today, can't wait to see the arms and get started on the bronco... Thanks again.
